Hope, Faith, Recovery, Dreams

Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking the time to come and visit me here! I really appreciate it!

Here are today's picks, which I hope will brighten your day in some way! 

I post a lot of quotes and images in my posts, as I do my post twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. By providing plenty of things for you in each post, I am giving you adequate content to carry you through the few days until my next post! A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your visits and kind comments! I appreciate you all so much! :)

Those who live quietly often hear the music the world is too busy to notice.

  2. A good prank, and funniest at the end. How come Slinkies never worked as well in real life as they did in ads?

  12. So many good ones today, Linda. I especially like the one by Jane Lee Logan who said, “Sometimes you have to let faith lead the way even though you can't see where it will take you”, which reminds me of the phrase, “jump and the net will appear”. It takes faith to do that. πŸ’•
    You post twice a week just like I do. Mine are on Monday and Friday. The pictures you took in Montreal are beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you for visiting my blog and always making such sweet thoughtful comments. πŸ’—

    February 2024 we took our dream train, the Indian Pacific, from Adelaide to Perth - well, it wasn´t THAT fancy... I had a slinky, too!
    To a good new week! πŸ₯°

  15. I remember slinkys, my kids had them, the proper metal ones, not the plastic ones you get now that don't work.

  18. This quote "Bad dreams are not a premonition, but instead a reflection of your fear and anxiety. When you choose to overcome them, the dreams will disappear" is very helpful and a comfort for our friend, Lotus, who had a bad dream recently. Linda, your blog is full of positivity and encouragement! Thank you for your effort to source and post all those quotes!
